2:1 |
I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men;
|
2:2 |
for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity.
|
2:3 |
This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
|
2:4 |
who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth.
|
2:5 |
For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, [himself] man, Christ Jesus,
|
2:6 |
who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony [to be borne] in its own times;
|
2:7 |
whereunto I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth, I lie not), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
|
2:8 |
I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing.
|
2:9 |
In like manner, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefastness and sobriety; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly raiment;
|
2:10 |
but (which becometh women professing godliness) through good works.
|
2:11 |
Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.
|
2:12 |
But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness.
|
2:13 |
For Adam was first formed, then Eve;
|
2:14 |
and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression:
|
2:15 |
but she shall be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.
